Day One of the Trip Nip
Honestly, I believe those of us who drive more than 30 minutes to attempt a Trip Nip should get something extra.
YHC met up with a scrum of mad lads prior to Nickelback and fam’s sojourn across the pond to the Emerald Isle. As Ireland is known worldwide for its zest for spiciness, I figured I would give this morning’s little get together a little extra zing, you know, to help our brother acclimate.
Count-o-Rama. 10 Strong.

Sunday nights are family movie nights at the Casa de Cook. My son was tasked with the responsibility of selecting our feature for the evening. He chose a very family friendly, feel good movie called John Wick. So, as I sat and enjoyed this lovely movie about “good guy”, John Wick, I began to think about my Qs this week up in the NP. Then it came to me…the theme for this week: What are the qualities that make for a good man? For a good person?
I figured, each day this week I would come up with a word that captures the qualities that make a person “good.” For this morning, I chose “Selfless.” Selfless, to me, is about genuinely caring and wanting the best for another. It is based on pure intentions free from selfish desires or personal gain. It is focused on serving those around us. Tony Robbins has a great quote on this subject. He said, “The quality of your life is based on the quality of your relationships…and a relationship is not a place to go to get, but it is a place to go to give. Take this as you go about your day. Strive to be selfless. Aye!
Prayers for Nickelback and his family on their trip to Ireland, and for a safe return
Prayers for Milton’s M and his family
See you Wed. Peace.
